iho Wnr, Telia TUI* Story at a Veraul
Brigade*
The Vermont brigade was tho pet or
ganization of tho Army of the Potomac,
and Miles O’Hoilly desoribod them as
honest farmers turned vagabonds—sim
ple conntrymon changed into heroes.
They stole anoient horses and bony oows
on tho march. They pillaged moderately
in other things. They swept the dairios
and they stripped the orohards for miles
where they traveled. They chased rab
bits when they went iuto camp after
long marches, nnd thoy yelled like wild
Indians when neighboring camps were
silent through fatiguo. Thoy wore famil
iar with their officers. Thoy swaggered
in a cool, impudent way and looked
down with a patronizing Yankee cool
ness upon all regiments that were better
drilled, and upon that part of the army
generally that did not belong to tho Ver
mont brigade. They were strangely
proud, not of themselves individually,
but of tlie brigado collectively, for they
know perfectly well thnt they were tho
best lighters in the known world. They
were individually self-reliant and skilfnl
in tho uso of arms, and they honestly be
lieved that the Vermont brigade oould
not be beaten by all the combined armies
of tho rebellion.
They were veterans in fighting quali
ties almost from the drat skirmish. This
was nt Leo's Mills. Thoy crossed a nar
row dam iiuder a fire, made tho attack
they were instructed to make, and came
Imok, wading deep in tho wator, with a
steadiness that snrprisod tho army.
Thoy wore on incorrigible, irregular,
noisy sot of rascals, Thoy were mnoh
sworn at during their fonr years of
Bervice; yot they woro, nt all timos, a
pet brigado. There were but two things
they would do—march and fight j and
thoso they did in n manner peculiarly
The Cat’s Tail.
Appropriate to tho presont rage for

following aneodote related of President
Lincoln: One evening Mrs, Liuooln
swept with magnificent dress into tho
library where tho President was waiting
to escort her into tho birlliant reception
parlor. Her dress was composed of a
very long train, but out low nt the neok.
Liuooln was standing, with bis baok to
the Are, when his wife entered.
•‘Whew 1” said old Abo, “what n long
tail onr cat has to-night.”
Mrs. Lincoln made no answer, and
tho President continued, “Say, mother,
don’t you think it wonld be bettor if
somo of onr oat's tail was around hor

Alabama, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada,

Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode

passed laws providing for instruction in
physiology in tho public sohools, with
speoial referenoe to the effect of alooholio
liquors on bodily health; and there Is
prospeot of similar legislation in West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and
somo other States. Local option laws
have been adopted by three States.
Kansan has strengthened her prohibitory
law, nnd Iowa lias hold through her
courts thnt her prohibitory law is con

flour were also in favor, especially when
baked in the form of tarts, with a little

bread, it does not exist, the substance
being heavy dumplings of flour, which
is steamed instead of being baked. They
are not so bad, however, when toasted.
The favorite food here is a cake made of

to a thorough believer in tho genu

in reply to a question, I ventured to of
for nearly fifteen years ago to an eminent
London physician. To exhaust a soil,
however, a parasite less vigorous and do
structive than tlie really virulent one may
suffice; and, if, after having by means of
a feebler organism exhausted the soil,
without fatal result, the most highly
virulent parasite ho introduced iuto tho
system, it will prove powerless. 'i bis,
